The Environmental Protection Agency has an annual grant-aid funding call, named Green Enterprise: Innovation for a Circular Economy.
The initiative supports businesses to develop and demonstrate innovative practical applications and solutions that prevent waste and stimulate the circular economy. A circular economy is where no resources are wasted and the value of materials are kept in the economy as long as possible, through reuse, repair, and recycling.
The fund is open to projects linked to:
- Plastics
- Construction and demolition
- Food
- Resources and raw materials (electrical and electronic equipment, textiles, furniture)
- The maximum amount of funding available is €100,000 per grant award. Grant aid is provided on a shared cost contribution basis.You can get from 25% up to 95% of the total eligible project costs incurred, depending on the type of organisation applying.
